This bill is screwed up, it is unconscionable for the federal government to enforce copyright law in this manner. Imaginary property does *NOT* deserve federal protection. The health of children, however... maybe we can do a little something about that? Maybe? Ya think? Pretty please?

"Paidcontent.org reported on Sunday that Biden last year proposed a $1 billion program to monitor p2p networks. That’s right: $1 billion of your tax money to ensure nobody steals the new Metallica album."
"A few months later, Biden signed a letter that urged the Justice Department "to prosecute individuals who intentionally allow mass copying from their computer over peer-to-peer networks."
The point being that Biden is a HUGE RIAA supporter. - wwwonka, on 09/20/2008, -4/+20Quit picking on the RIAA damn it! They are fine people who are just trying to earn a decent living for christs sake.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10024163-38.html
By choosing Joe Biden as their vice presidential candidate, the Democrats have selected a politician who has spent most of his Senate career allied with the FBI and copyright holders, who ranks toward the bottom of CNET's Technology Voters' Guide, and whose anti-privacy legislation was actually responsible for the creation of PGP.
After taking over the Foreign Relations committee, Biden became a staunch ally of Hollywood and the recording industry in their efforts to expand copyright law. He sponsored a bill in 2002 that would have make it a federal felony to trick certain types of devices into playing unauthorized music or executing unapproved computer programs.
A few months later, Biden signed a letter that urged the Justice Department "to prosecute individuals who intentionally allow mass copying from their computer over peer-to-peer networks."
Last year, Biden sponsored an RIAA-backed bill called the Perform Act aimed at restricting Americans' ability to record and play back individual songs from satellite and Internet radio services. - cday, on 09/20/2008, -1/+13Well, apparently YOU don't, so you must be the "no one" you're talking about.

- ajames01, on 09/20/2008, -5/+15***** the RIAA but lets support obama/biden right?
- bapwa, on 09/20/2008, -0/+9Our current system of government in the US is corrupt. Our politicians are bought and paid for, no matter what party they claim allegience to. It's going to take a peaceful revolution to fix this folks. Nothing else will do.
- pigfister, on 09/20/2008, -0/+8lets not for get who is actually behind the MPAA - RIAA these are the companies that need to be targeted and boycotted into changing their ways.
Name and shame the companies as all the **AA trade group name is for is to protect the ***** capitalist corporate globalist wankers from bad press.
The BPI Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The RIAA Soundexchange Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The IFPI Are: The same anti consumer lot as listed above!
The MPAA Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, DISNEY, PARAMOUNT, FOX. - flarn2006, on 09/20/2008, -0/+8Even Kirk Johnson's? (He's the goatse guy.)
- FreddieD, on 09/20/2008, -1/+9This goes beyond just letting the DoJ do it's dirty work. If the government creates it's own little version of the *AA, they will eventually have the power to levy fines to ISPs if they are caught with users who share. This is where the *AA is entirely handcuffed at the moment: convincing the ISPs to better monitor themselves. The DoJ won't even care who you are other than an offending IP address, they won't have to.
Even if it isn't a terribly stiff fine, it would be enough and file sharing would take an incredible hit in the US. People will then take the next logical step of securely proxying through other countries, or equivalent countermeasure. - Fartag, on 09/20/2008, -1/+8But "intellectual property" in its current forms runs contrary to freedom of speech, and inhibits otherwise reasonable actions by citizens. That's a definite sign it isn't hooked up right at its very basis!
The problem comes from people trying to hobble information into a form like a physically limited product. They do this by tacking on laws, surveillance, DRM and closed source to plug all the leaks. And after that's done you end up with _assured profit_ along with a mentally retarded public that has to pay for every piece of information they use, and are unable to actually use that information without paying for the license, and are forced to keep quiet about what they learned because all of these things harm profits!
It _is_ important that people get paid to produce useful / unique (etc.) information, but that's the secondary consideration when essential freedoms are at stake. Fortunately though there are methods that ensure info producers get paid without the muzzles and shackles for everybody else. - inactive, on 09/20/2008, -0/+6Current CIA intelligence shows he will probably proxy through Afghanistan and Iran first. Slippery bastard.
- blacklilyninja, on 09/20/2008, -1/+7STOP the RIAA from existing!!!!
take your country back from the corporate mafias oil, entertainment, automotive, etc - inactive, on 09/20/2008, -0/+5The RIAA is sex? You give them too much credit!
- hwood, on 09/20/2008, -0/+5Big money wins, every time, to hell with you, me and everyone else.

- spyd3rweb, on 09/20/2008, -1/+6When is Anonymous going to destroy RIAA?
- scimanal, on 09/20/2008, -0/+5Actually Bin Laden runs the RIAA, hence his elusive nature.
:P - MikeFallopian, on 09/20/2008, -8/+13Intellectual property is legitimate. If you create something that people want - whether it is a physical object or an artistic work - you deserve to get paid. Some of the RIAA's tactics are absurd and worthy of contempt. The "reasonable penalty" for a single uploaded song is highly inflated. Excessive penalties deserve to be opposed, but the very idea of intellectual property should not be attacked. Movies, songs, books etc. are as deserving of protection as any physical device.
- ScottyDelicious, on 09/20/2008, -0/+4***** the RIAA
- Graves138, on 09/20/2008, -0/+4Can you explain the connection? Not being sarcastic, i'd actually like to know.
- inactive, on 09/20/2008, -0/+4Republican SPAM in a non-related article. Buried.

/jayzLP - Lunarsight, on 09/20/2008, -0/+4Mike - This bill seems like a blatant attempt by the RIAA to draft the government into helping them with their pathetic witch hunts.
Even if you support intellectual property [and I do - to a degree], one can't deny that the RIAA's methods for 'protecting' it are pretty shady and underhanded. They try and manipulate the judicial process to their advantage. (It doesn't help that many judges are fairly computer illiterate and hence easy sells for whatever drivel the RIAA is telling them.)
Furthermore, we've seen how badly enforcement of drug laws has bogged down the court system. The last thing we need is the government getting even more tied up like this. In the grand scheme of things, this should not be at the top of the government's list of things to deal with. They have more pressing matters right now. - inactive, on 09/20/2008, -1/+5I just downloaded this story off of BitTorrent, what now bitches!
- inactive, on 09/20/2008, -0/+4Australian...
RIAA? Tell em to get stuffed... - ATLiens, on 09/20/2008, -1/+5i've heard that the artists don't actually get any money from them. the record companies take all the money.
that's why lawsuits for illegal downloading are ***** lame.
if you're going to sue someone for not paying for music, give some of it to the musicians. - Lunarsight, on 09/20/2008, -0/+4Graves - I can summarize the connection with one word:
BIDEN.
He's the RIAA's errand boy.
That's a euphemism.
The truth of the matter is you could probably give him a title with much more sexual innuendo that would be closer to the truth in terms of his relationship with the RIAA. Five letter words beginning with B or W would do the 'trick' nicely. - Lancelot9201, on 09/20/2008, -1/+5What's funny about all this is you don't hear any artist
expressing their appreciation for the additional checks
that they've been receiving from the 30,000+ settlements. - scimanal, on 09/20/2008, -0/+4I don't think the hate has anything to do with the people personally... its just the goals ad motivations of the group. More over, there are plenty of people they could be targeting that would make sense, even if you wanted p2p stopped. Instead of working at the source, they decide to follow the most slow and unresponsive approach and sue sue sue... your grandma? WTF
- dsmx, on 09/20/2008, -0/+4I'm still not sure if the new metallica album is worth pirating.
